Abstract

A vehicle proximity monitoring system includes an operator area portion comprising a computer processor programmed for receiving and processing both wireless-based data communications and wire-based data communications. A proximity detection portion of the monitoring system may include a condition monitoring device and associated components for wirelessly transmitting data collected by the condition monitoring device to the operator area portion. The proximity detection portion may be configured for communication with a controller area network (CAN) bus operatively associated with the vehicle, and a power line of the vehicle for pairing at least one component of the proximity detection portion with at least one component of the operator area portion.

Claims (21)

1. A vehicle proximity monitoring system comprising: an operator area portion comprising: a computer processor programmed for receiving and processing both wireless-based data communications and wire-based data communications; and a proximity detection portion comprising: at least one condition monitoring device, an antenna for wirelessly transmitting data collected by the condition monitoring device to the operator area portion, and wherein the proximity detection portion is configured for data communication with: a controller area network (CAN) bus operatively associated with the vehicle, and a power line of the vehicle for pairing at least one component of the proximity detection portion with at least one component of the operator area portion.
2. The system of Claim 1, further comprising the proximity detection portion configured for communicating data through the CAN bus to the processor of the operator area portion.
3. The system of Claim 1, wherein the operator area portion further comprises at least least one display for displaying data communicated from the condition monitoring device.
4. The system of Claim 3, wherein the condition monitoring device comprises at least one camera programmed for generating video data associated with a proximity of the vehicle.
5. The system of Claim 3, wherein the condition monitoring device comprises at least one sensor programmed for generating data associated with a proximity of the vehicle.
6. The system of Claim 5, wherein the sensor is programmed for using at least one of or a combination of sonar, radar, or lidar for generating data associated with a proximity of the vehicle.
7. The system of Claim 1, wherein the vehicle comprises a tractor-trailer combination.
8. The system of Claim 1, wherein the vehicle comprises a tractor and multiple trailers, and the proximity detection portion is positioned on the trailer most distally located from the operator area portion.
9. The system of Claim 1, wherein the vehicle comprises a tractor and multiple trailers, and further comprising at least one additional monitoring system operatively associated with at least one of the multiple trailers.
10. The system of Claim 1, further comprising an adapter configured for establishing at least one data communication connection between at least one receptacle of the vehicle and the proximity detection portion.
11. The system of Claim 1, further comprising the adapter configured for interfacing the proximity detection portion with at least one data communication function of the vehicle.
12. The system of Claim 1, further comprising the adapter configured for interfacing the proximity detection portion with at least one power function of the vehicle.
13. The system of Claim 1, further comprising a patch antenna configured to boost a signal wirelessly communicated by the proximity detection portion to the operator area portion.
14. The system of Claim 1, wherein the operator area portion further comprises a data storage medium for storing event data associated with data received from the condition monitoring device.
15. The system of Claim 1, further comprising the operator area portion configured for wirelessly pairing with the proximity detection portion.
16. The system of Claim 1, further comprising the operator area portion configured for pairing with the proximity detection portion via a CAN bus connection.
17. The system of Claim 1, further comprising the proximity detection portion configured for connecting to a global positioning system of the vehicle via the CAN bus connection.
18. The system of Claim 1, further comprising the proximity detection portion configured for connecting to an electronic control unit of the vehicle via the CAN bus connection.
19. The system of Claim 1, further comprising: the operator area portion including a display for displaying data communicated from the condition monitoring device; and the proximity detection portion configured for connecting to the display via the CAN bus connection.
20. A communication system for wireless-enabled devices, the system comprising: a first wireless-enabled device; and at least a second wireless-enable device configured for data connectivity with the first wireless-enable device through at least connections comprising: a wireless-based data communication connection, a wire-based data communication connection through a controller area network (CAN) bus, and a wire-based data communication connection through at least one power line.
21. The system of Claim 20, wherein the CAN bus is operatively associated with a vehicle.
